Please send all of your course materials or link them to the
EEE website.
We will no longer be listing them separately on
our own department website.
Suggestions for putting Physics and Astronomy course syllabi on the
web.
The main reasons for doing this are
- The students have ready access to the syllabus throughout the quarter.
- Students are used to looking for syllabi on the campus Electronic
Educational Environment (EEE) site for most of their classes.
- Students can find out in more detail what will be covered in the courses
that they are considering.
- The accumulated syllabi are useful in recruiting both undergraduate
majors and graduate students to UCI. The syllabi show in a direct way
that UCI classes are on the same level and cover similar content and texts
as do equivalent courses at other universities.
Methods of putting syllabi on the web
- Syllabi may be composed in Microsoft Word and forwarded to the department
website administrative assistant
to be translated into html and then submitted to EEE or listed on your
own department website (see below). The instructor or administrative
assistant will list the class on the EEE listing at:
http://eee.uci.edu/forms/course.app.html
.
- Once formatted in html, the syllabi may be directly entered into the
EEE forms at their website:
http://eee.uci.edu/forms/application.html
, where you also obtain a web account for the class. This requires the
instructor's UCINet ID and password. There
are many other applications available for courses for which we refer to
the EEE guide http://eee.uci.edu/doc/guide.html
.
- Instructors who want to do more web pages for the course can either
use the EEE account, or activate their own department provided website
on http://www.physics.uci.edu/~instructorsname/.
Contact Domingos Begalli,
drb@uci.edu, or telephone 824-2755,
to activate your account. This involves your own creation of web pages
either with the web editor that comes with Netscape-Gold or with the new
Netscape Communicator, or with your own web editor, or with the new Microsoft
Word 7 with html web language output. The website should then be put on
the EEE master list, again at
http://eee.uci.edu/forms/course.app.html
